Sri Lankan actress Damitha Abeyratne and her husband who were remanded over an allegation of financial fraud have been granted bail.
The couple was released on bail by the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court today. They were released on two sureties of Rs. 5 million each.
Damitha Abeyratne and her husband were accused of defrauding money amounting to nearly Rs. 3 million by claiming to provide foreign jobs.
In April, the couple was arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department after having surrendered to the Fort Magistrate’s Court over the financial scam.
The Fort Magistrate’s Court had also imposed a travel ban on the couple, while the Court of Appeal had rejected their request for an interim order preventing their arrest under the Immigrants and Emigrants Act. (Newswire)
